KUDS230BAL0 KitchenAid Dishwasher - Instructions

I just slipped the old, worn out tube off, warmed the new one in some hot water for a few minutes to make it more pliable, sprayed some non-stick spray on the end connecting in the back, and slipped it on. Piece of cake!

I removed the old tube by hand (it fell apart) I just worrked the new softer tube over the openings on each end and it was fixed! I did have to warm the new tube with warm water to squeeze it over the tubes but it was easy!

Part was easy to locate on the website. Photo on the measurement grid was the key after entering the maker and model number. I have found refrigerator parts the same way on this site. Sliced the old rotten hose to remove it. The new hose only had to be slipped over the connections. I soaped the ends of the tube to make the installation easier.

It was easy to remove rack from dishwasher. I screwed on rollers and it was like new!

I ordered 8 new axles and used old wheels. I broke off the remaining axle parts left on the wire lower basket with just my hands, and then popped on the new axles. This was done without tools; just needed significant pressure to pop the axles onto the coated wire. The wheels popped onto the axles with a little pressure. Make sure you have the right side of the wheel out. I simply looked at the remaining working wheels before install began to make sure which side goes out. Very easy install.

Actually I ordered the drain and wash impeller kit because it was listed as the #1 cause of failure to drain. I then hired a plumber to install it. He did so and that didn't solve the problem. So I was about to buy a new dishwasher. I then noticed that the second most frequent cause was a problem with the "dishwasher drain check valve." I watched the "partselect" video on how to change that. I didn't have a new one but I thought I would take out the part and see what I could learn. As it turned out it was blocked by a little piece of what appeared to be a walnut chip. I cleaned it out reinstalled the drain check valve and the problem was solved.

Manually remove old tube and simply replace with new tube - no tools!

I removed the old, brittle and leaky water delivery tube by hand and at the outlet and at the inlet end, by cutting it away with an exacto knife. I then heated the new tube under hot water and coated each end with dishwasher soap. With only a modest amount of manipulation, both ends slipped easily into place and the hose was immediately secure and operable. My wife, who didn't witness my efforts, thought I was a genius.

The water inlet valve SEEMED to be the logical choice of the part that went bad. It was! It was a really easy fix. Undo the bottom front of the dishwasher. Shut off the hot water supply. Unscrew the hot water pipe leading to the valve. Unscrew the 2 screws holding the vlave to the dishwasher. Unclamp the rubber hose on the other side of the valve leading TO the inside of the dishwasher (water outlet side of the valve) And remove the electrical plug on the old valve. Only time consuming part was the need to remove the male/female coppper fitting from the old valve, put it on the new one and reattach the hotwater pipe....don't forget the teflon tape on the threads, the elecrtrical plug, the rubber hose and the front of the case . My wife says it runs like new

first-removed all axles from one side of rack. replace with new ones, replace rollers. repeat for other side of rack. VIOLA!!

FIrst I shut the water and power off. I took 4 screws off bottom panels of dishwasher. Using pliers I move spring clip of the rubber valve. I disangage the hose and disconnected electrical connection ( two wires ) . Then using two open wrenches ( 3/4" and the other probably 13/16" - not sure ) disconnected the copper tubbing. I replaced the valve i reverse order.I used teflon tape for sealing connections . Everything works good now.

I took out the bottom rack, turned it upside down, popped off the wheels and saved them and put on the new axles. It took a little doing to get the new axles snapped into place-they were stiff. I finally figured out how to use the pliers at the right angle to pop them on. Then the wheels popped right on and off I went.

I ordered all new axles even though not all of them were broken - I figured it was just a matter of time. Ordered one new roller because one was missing, and an extra one just in case. Removed all old rollers and axles. A couple of them did not want to come off, so I "hit" them with a screwdriver. Put on all new axles and replaced the rollers. The whole project took about 10 minutes. SUPER EASY. CHEAP FIX FOR MY OLD DISHWASHER.

The website had great pictures, I compared the wheels I had and the broken axles with the pictures, and picked what I thought would match. They were perfect. I used pliers to pop the axle on, and my fingers to put on the wheels. It works perfectly now

Pulled off old tube and slipped on new one.
